“One of the largest and most highly regarded bankruptcy practices in the nation.”
– Law360
Since 1983, Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP has maintained a commitment to excellence that has earned it recognition as one of the nation's top insolvency practices.
We have become the largest law firm in the country devoted primarily to corporate restructurings, with offices in Los Angeles, New York, Delaware, Houston, and San Francisco. But our philosophy has not changed: The strength of our team of talented lawyers is expertise and experience, not numbers. As a result, we believe we offer a unique combination of top-quality representation and small-firm economics and commitment.
We have depth and expertise in four distinct, but closely related areas:
Our goal is to provide exceptional and effective representation to a wide variety of clients, large public corporations and smaller businesses, debtors, creditors' committees and trustees, across many industries. We have a proven track record of success, and understand full well that we are judged by the results we achieve for our clients.
Strategically Located
The firm’s strategic office locations allow us to handle the most significant bankruptcy matters throughout the United States and abroad, and file these cases in the jurisdiction that best meets a client’s objectives.
View Our Results
Clients hire lawyers, not law firms. We do not overlawyer matters, and the attorneys that our clients hire stay actively involved.
Our firm is not leveraged on large numbers of associates. The result, we believe, is cost-effective representation and greater client satisfaction.
Although our primary objective is to seek business solutions to our clients’ problems, we are known as effective litigators as well as skilled negotiators. The credible threat of litigation allows us to maximize results in negotiations. If negotiations break down, we are prepared to aggressively litigate our clients’ positions.
The firm’s strategic office locations allow us to handle the most significant bankruptcy matters throughout the United States and abroad, and file these cases in the jurisdiction that best meets a client’s objectives.
